When we lay down at night why our brain does not recognize it and make us fall asleep much easier? Interesting that we have control over so much things but not our own body.

There actually kind of is a way to do this. It’s a technique developed by the US military, mainly for fighter pilots, to be able to sleep under any conditions, even during gunfire. It involves intentionally relaxing every muscle in your body one by one and keeping your mind clear by repeating a word in your head like “sleep” or something similar.
If you have any tensed muscles or you’re mentally stimulating yourself by thinking about what you’re going to do tomorrow or that embarrassing thing you did as a kid, you’re just not going to get to sleep, it’s as simple as that.
This technique works by essentially tricking your brain into thinking you’re already asleep by emulating sleep, of that makes any sense. It takes about 6 weeks to really master, and the goal is for it to work in about 2 minutes.
